Don’t keep it to yourselves! Many of us can program in C & MASM and will be happy to update it for ourselves and for the benefit of many others.

I have an issue when a value in my linq datasource contains a null string and I use the Like operator (but not wen using the Equal operator). Apparently there is an issue with the LikeString method when the left side is null.

Anybody knows how to fix it?

The demand for VB6 is still there. Microsoft have agreed to continue supporting VB6.
Microsoft say “Windows is committed to compatibility. The Windows compatibility team has been looking at user telemetry and reacting to feedback from Windows Insiders to ensure that existing apps work well with Windows 10. Windows 10 is designed to run Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 software programs. And yes, everyone’s favorite VB6 Runtime will continue to work, too.”

Microsoft support VB6 on Windows 7, 8 and 10 for the lifetime of the operating system (so until at least 2025 for Windows 10).

years. Excellent stuff, just excellent!

And the situation is still unchanged. VB6 programming continues to run on Windows (now it is Windows 10, with the VB6 runtime supported until at least 2025).

1. Sorry about that. We have a bug tracking this issue – https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/issues/2858
2. That’s intentional. For a method you just wrote it seems silly but it’s valuable to know when you have unused methods/dead code in other cases.
3. I’m unable to reproduce this. I remember there being issues around this in the beta but they seem to be fixed now. Are you using Update 1?
4. I don’t understand. Could you give me an example of the code you’re trying to write and where there IDE is going wrong as you’re typing?
